Abstract
Free‐standing flexible TiO2 nanofibrous membranes (NFMs) are highly desired for the construction of high‐performance wearable electronic devices. Nevertheless, tremendous challenges still exist due to the fragile characteristics of the polycrystalline TiO2 nanofibers. Here, ultra‐flexible TiO2 NFMs with robust fatigue strength and photoelectric properties are achieved via a simple element doping approach and the electrospinning technique. The 2 mol% Y3+‐doped NFM‐based photodetector exhibits excellent UV detecting performance at 3 V under 350 nm illumination, that is, responsivity of 4.5 A W−1, detectivity of 1.6 × 1011 Jones, and photocurrent of ≈1.6 µA. By effectively tuning the distribution and bonding state of Y3+ ions, the NFM shows significantly enhanced flexibility, where its original photocurrent is successfully maintained in various bending states (angle, radius, spiral state). Importantly, the resultant Y3+‐doped TiO2 NFM maintains ≈60% of its original photocurrent after bending at ≈145° for more than 20 000 times. A plausible prototype accounts for the effective bending deformation mechanism is proposed on the basis of the systematic analyses of the microstructural characteristics and the stress distribution achieved by using the finite element method. Finally, a wearable UV monitoring system that outputs real‐time photocurrent signals with different motion combinations of the remote‐controlled robot is demonstrated.
